Answer: Sell four December coffee future contracts at $2.00 per pound

Explanation:

Based on the scenario in the question, the number of contracts that is required for hedging the entire crop will be gotten by dividing the total number of crops by the pounds that are available in one contract. This will be:

= 150,000/37,500

= 4 contracts

Therefore, the answer will be for Jarvis to sell four December coffee future contracts at $2.00 per pound

padilas [110]

Answer:A. $24,000

B. 36,000

A share is $100,000/$250,000/* $60,000

A= $24,000

= $36,000

Joan, is a jewelry designer who had created a unique new jewelry piece called a neacklet. It can be either a necklace or a brace
patriot [66]

Answer and explanation:

In Joan's case, a general partnership will provide her control over her business that will be shared with the older gentleman who owns a jewelry store. Profits would be distributed evenly regardless of the contribution of each partner in the business. However, the older gentleman has offered Joan the chance of purchasing his share later on which would provide her the total control of the business and the patent of her creation.

The other option Joan has available is purchasing a franchise. This will allow Joan to avoid the initial costs of introducing her products to the market and the risks of not having enough consumers since her brand name is new. Though she will lose access to the patent of her creation and periodically Joan will need to pay NewJewelry a fee for using its name.

Therefore, <em>as Joan prefers to have control over her designs, it would be more convenient for her to choose the general partnership.</em>

Dixie is a product of the Digby company. Digby's sales forecast for Dixie is 506 units. Digby wants to have an extra 10% of unit
n200080 [17]

Answer:

556.6 or 557 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Digby's sales forecast for Dixie = 506 units

Digby wants to have an extra units on hand above and beyond their forecast = 10%

Production units = Sales × (1 + Reserve Percentage)

                             = 506 × (1 + 10%)

                            = 506 × 110%

                             = 556.6 or 557 units

Therefore, the Dixie's will produce 557 units in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale.
